    Actually people say bless u when u sneeze because in medieval times they thought u were possessed my demons and u were just letting one out. :D

    The ancient origin of the heart actually comes from an attempt to draw the male genitalia.

    There was no way Christ was born in December 25th because in the bible it says he was born when they were harvesting the fields.

    -Men have nipples because the female chromosome works before the male chromosome kicks in. So men are left with nipples. They haven't been removed from our species because nipples dont really pose an evolutionary threat to us, they're harmless so they stay.

    The human brain uses approximately as much energy as a 10 watt light bulb.

    101 Dalmatians and Peter Pan are the only two Disney animated features in which both the parents are present and don't die throughout the movie.

    Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is the most widely taught novel in America.

    The bubbles in Guinness beer sink to the bottom - no one knows why.

    Looking at stars is actually looking in the past since light takes awhile to arrive.

    A single supernova produces more light than an entire galaxy combined.

    A single gamma ray burst lasting a few minutes releases more energy than our Sun will make in its entire 10 billion year lifetime.

    The island of Enewetak was wiped off the face of the Earth when the first hydrogen bomb test was detonated.

    "No" is not a sentence. A sentence consists of a subject and predicate. The simplest subject is one noun/pronoun and the simplest predicate is one verb.

    Not true. There is the occasional freak who can do this. I'm one of them. I can post a picture if you wish.

    Now to contribute...

    A peanut is neither a pea nor a nut.
    A quarter of Russia is covered by forest.
    If you were to cram every person in the world shoulder to shoulder in one spot, they would take up a space about the size of New York State (This fact is years old btw... I pulled it out of memory)
    A rat can last longer than a camel with no water.
    About 3,500 gallons if water is needed to produce one pound of beef.
    A 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable.
    Almost 85% of the universe is a form of dark matter. (How scientists figure this, I have no freaking idea xD)

    Try this out..
    Fold your middle finger (or as I call it, the *explecite f* you finger :D), under your hand, now try lifting the ring finger on the same hand. If your doing it right.. you shouldnt be able to lift it!
    this is because the middle finger and ring finger share a tendon, the middle holds more then the ring finger. if its held down like I described, you cant lift it :3

    well I wasn't talking about a barre chord... But yeh that stretches a bit too.. never had a hard time on it though .-.
    chord I mean looks like this:
    e |
    |
    |--4--|
    b |
    |
    |
    |
    g |
    |
    |
    |
    d |
    |
    |
    |
    a |
    |--2--|
    |
    e |
    |
    |--3--|

    4 is pink, 3 is ring finger, 2 is middle finger.
    doesn't stretch the ring vs middle finger but sure puts some strain on the pink - ring fingers...
    and a random fact:
    The guitar is the easiest instrument to play lousy, and the hardest to play well.
